If you’ve lost a toenail fully or partially due to injury, surgery, or other reasons, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to hide your toes.
GLUI can be used even when there is no natural toenail, using a gentle, skin-first method many women choose for confidence and comfort.
This is designed to help you feel confident wearing open shoes again — privately, at home, and on your own terms.
How It Works (When There Is No Natural Toenail)
If you still have a partial toenail or nail bed:
Apply GLUI directly onto the remaining nail area. Do not use a skin-safe patch. GLUI holds best when bonded to a natural nail surface.
If you have no natural toenail and only skin:
A skin-safe patch is used as a base to support the toenail tip.
Step-by-Step:
1. Clean and dry the area completely. Make sure the skin is free from oil or moisture.
2. If there is no natural toenail, trim the skin-safe patch to size and apply it smoothly to the skin.
3. If you still have partial nail or nail bed, skip the patch and apply directly to that area.
4. Apply a small amount of GLUI inside the toenail tip.
5. Press the toenail tip firmly onto the nail area or patch. Wipe away any excess glue.
6. Cure under a UV lamp for 60–90 seconds until fully bonded.
7. Aftercare (Important for Skin Health)
If you have a partial toenail or remaining nail bed:
✔ Wear your press-on toenail as long as it remains secure and comfortable.
✔ GLUI is designed to provide a strong, waterproof bond that can last 3+ weeks, and many customers report even longer wear with proper application and care.
✔ When you're ready to change or remove it, use the included Oil-Based Nail Glue Remover Pen to protect both your natural nail and the reusable press-on.
If you have no natural toenail and are using a skin-safe patch:
✔ Keep the area dry for 24–48 hours after application.
✔ We recommend wearing the toenail for up to 7 days
✔ After 7 days, gently remove and allow the skin to rest and breathe
✔ This helps maintain comfort, skin health, and long-term wearability
✨ No matter which method you use, our press-on toenails are reusable when removed gently with the included Oil-Based Nail Glue Remover Pen.
Taking short breaks between applications is part of caring for your skin — not a limitation.
How do I remove it safely?
Use the Oil-Based Nail Glue Remover Pen included in each kit to gently loosen the bond. Never pull or force removal.
Removal Steps:
1. Insert the pen tip between the press-on toenail and the natural nail, nail bed, or patch.
2. Press the bottom of the pen to release oil.
3. Wait 10–15 seconds.
4. Gently lift the press-on toenail.
5. Wipe off excess oil and store the toenail for reuse.
If it does not come off easily, repeat the process with more oil and wait a little longer. Always remove gently.
Our press-on toenails are reusable. Using the Oil-Based Nail Glue Remover Pen helps protect them during removal, so you can wear them multiple times.

⚠️ Important Skin Safety Note
Before full use, we recommend a small patch test:
- Apply a small amount to a tiny area
- Wait and observe for any sensitivity
- Discontinue use if irritation occurs
🧤 Extra Protection for Sensitive Skin (Recommended)
If you have sensitive or reactive skin, we recommend using Secret Nails Latex Tape as a protective barrier.
- Creates a thin protective layer on the skin
- Prevents glue from touching areas you want to protect
- Helps reduce mess and potential irritation
- Ideal for patch testing or sensitive areas
Apply it around or under the area where glue should not touch, let it dry, then proceed as normal.
Many customers say this step makes the process more comfortable and worry-free.
